The Weeknd owes his career to this song

[AyBrehHam Linkin]

Fancy really is a classic record.

on the Weeknd/MJ subject, i remember when he dropped the third tape and people shyt on the Dirty Diana cover.

From what i remember the Dirty Diana cover had mofukkas on his dikk even more

that shyt put him on the map though

Weeknd just lucky Frank ain't drop this year, woulda took that nikkas whole shine.

 

[stealthbomber]

weeknd is a big student of dream, mj and prince

but he has his own style

 

[10bandz]

exactly what his A&Rs want you to think

Exactly! LOL @ Weeknd being anything close to MJ in anyway despite him trying so hard to do so...

yup

 

[10bandz]

he never gets credit for it but Dream laid the blueprint for Abel and low key a lot of this pbr&b shyt nikkas be on now

plus his first two albums were both classic

this post got me bumping Love v Money for the first time in a while. This shyt was hard

 

[TheDream]

Interesting analysis.

 

[Mr.Big Meat McGee]

The Weeknd is basically a better version of The Dream.

 

[010101]

swore for a little while what you need was a dream song

that was back when weeknd only had like one track floating round youtube

you know what's up

You're welcome OP

 

[H. Selassie]

So basically what I'm taking from this thread is that there is a lot of dope influences and culture in Weekend's music.
